About the job
Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can't just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems all the way through to high volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers affecting millions of Google users.
Pulling on your technical and leadership expertise, you lead end-to-end research projects in multiple areas of expertise across data center facilities and manage a team of direct reports working on equipment installation, troubleshooting and debugging.
As a CPU Architecture and Performance Architect, you will be the key contributor to improve processor instruction set architecture, to develop innovative microarchitecture features, and to deliver Google’s advanced SoC products. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with talents in Google’s Android applications and Google’s world-renowned AI teams to plan and conduct application and benchmark performance analysis and to project their performance at various design phases. Leveraging your CPU-specific knowledge and leadership, you will be guiding junior CPU architects and working with exceptional engineers in Power, Thermal, Security, and Physical Design teams to determine the CPU subsystem configuration and features.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $150,000-$223,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
